However, my favorite was the $3.65 caramel apple empanada from Taco Bell. Year-round, I opt for savory pies. But come fall, I ditch my go-to chicken potpies for the season's staple: apple pie.

You can always expect Taco Bell to be on the fast food frontlines when it comes to exciting and innovative new menu items.

I remember exactly where I was the first time I took a bite of a caramel apple empanada from Taco Bell. Okay, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there’s no denying how delicious they are.
